Chen Style Tai Chi with Xiaoyi Dong (Solange)
Saturdays, February 11th-March 17th, 5:00-6:00pm
This style has more kicking and jumping than Yang style, and thus is especially suitable for young people.

Thus, once the students learn 18 forms, the class will move on to 74 forms. Advanced students can also learn Chen-style single sword and single 
broadsword.

Crystal Singing Bowl Meditation & Sound Massage Treatments by Daniel Bastacky
Sunday, February 12th, 2:00-4:00pm
Receive a sound massage as crystal bowls are played while resting on your body. The deep resonance of the bowl sound relaxes tense muscles and has a calming effect on the mind. Bowls can be placed and played on seven different areas of the body to bring energy and vibration where it is needed.
Our whole body is a sounding board that can be tuned to the music of the Cosmos. When Alpha sound waves of the crystal bowls interact with our body, sympathetic vibrations occur that entrain our brain waves into a state of deep relaxation and expanded consciousness. These vibrations resonate on the deepest level of our being tuning the entire body into a state of balance.
Once a month at DHA.
$10 Everyone receives a personal treatment. Learn more about Crystal Singing Bowls here.
